Here's what I think are the relay connections:

 

pin 30 to the pump

pins 85 and 87a to ground

pin 87 to +12v(permanent live I believe)

pin 86 to the switch.

 

both relays are wired the same way, one makes it go up and one down which does what will depend on how you connect it at the pump end so

if the switch sends it the wrong way swap those connections over.

 

Don't forget to use fuses in the 12v feeds.

 

DISCLAIMER: I think this is right, but check it properly before you connect it up. I am not responsible for any smoke, burnt out cars or anything else

really, the value of your investment may go up or down, your haouse is at risk if you do not keep up payments, and all the other usual rubbish

you get in the small print.

(on the diagram looks like both pump wires go to the earth)

the drawing is to wire the pump from scratch, thats not a drawing of the loom or the way factory fitted pumps are wired as theres no saftey interlocks or igniton on feeds, although it will work. Lower 12v feed should deffinately be fused as spannerman says.
